About Safeonline Online Security Software - SafeOnline About SafeOnline Prevx is a leading supplier of PC security products and now all our clients have the chance to download SafeOnline software for free. SafeOnline works on top of any anti-virus software and alongside all other security products you already have on your computer. However, unlike your anti-virus software, SafeOnline is designed to protect your log in details and personal information to help safeguard you against fraudulent websites and malicious software. There are three ways in which SafeOnline can help to protect you: 1. Helps to ensure the website is genuine Sometimes, people can try to steal your personal information by replicating a genuine website, then getting you to reveal your personal or financial details. This is known as phishing. Phishing websites are a growing problem on the internet and sometimes it’s hard to tell the genuine sites from the fake. This is why SafeOnline holds a list of well known phishing websites and alerts you if you visit any of them. 2. Added password protection It can help ensure the log in details you enter for a certain website are meant for that website. Whenever you enter your log in details into a new site for the first time, SafeOnline always asks whether you’d like to associate those details with that site. Doing this means that if you come across a phishing site and you start to enter your log in or personal details, SafeOnline will recognise the web address is different and you’ll be alerted that you’re entering your password into a site it’s not meant for. If you’re using Internet Explorer this feature will work automatically, but if you’re using any other browser then you’ll need to turn this feature on manually. Instructions for how to do this can be found in the user manual on the Prevx site: http://info.prevx.com/safehelp.asp#xcredentialsecurity Your details and password are never stored by SafeOnline. 3. Protects against malicious software Like anti-virus software, SafeOnline scans for malicious software, and alerts you if it finds anything. However, unlike anti-virus software, if damaging software manages to slip past undetected, SafeOnline still protects your personal information. This means it’s unlikely the malicious software can be used to steal your log in details or personal information. Online Security Software - SafeOnline SafeOnline vs anti-virus software Prevx SafeOnline software protects your identity when using websites. Anti-virus software will protect your PC from viruses. Using both gives you more protection. Protection Antivirus software Prevx SafeOnline Protects credentials and personal information entered into websites from No Yes being stolen by malicious software. Alerts you if you try to access a No Yes phishing website. Alerts you if malicious software tries No Yes to re-direct you to a harmful website. Prevents malicious software from being able to copy the information on No Yes a web page. Detects existing malicious software and viruses on your computer, Yes Yes including those trying to install onto your system. Removes malicious software and No – can upgrade to viruses on your computer. Prevx 3.0 anti-virus Yes software (see below for information). Advises you if the operating system and browser on your computer are not No Yes fully secure or up to date. If you don’t already have anti-virus software on your computer, you can upgrade SafeOnline to Prevx 3.0 for a discounted price. This application detects the early signs of malicious software and protects your computer by removing the threat. Once you have SafeOnline installed, you can purchase Prevx 3.0 by clicking on the Prevx icon in the bottom right hand corner of your screen and selecting the ‘buy’ option. Online Security Software - SafeOnline What’s the threat? The personal information you share on the internet can be invaluable to a fraudster. It’s really important that you protect your personal information at all times, otherwise your identity and your money could be at risk. There are two main types of computer threats SafeOnline can help you stay protected against: 1. Phishing websites Authentic looking emails will sometimes be sent to unsuspecting internet users to drive them to a fake website in an attempt to steal their log in details or personal information. This is known as phishing. Phishing is a growing problem amongst internet users and there’s a very real chance that one day you may receive one of these fraudulent emails. SafeOnline has a list of well known phishing sites built into its software and alerts you if you unknowingly visit one of them. It also has the added protection to keep your log in details secure by associating those details with a specific website. Therefore, if you unknowingly start to enter your log in details onto a phishing website, SafeOnline will recognise the different web address and alert you that you’re entering your details into a site they’re not meant for. If you’re using Internet Explorer this feature will work automatically, but if you’re using any other browser then you’ll need to turn it on manually. Instructions for how to do this can be found in the user manual on the Prevx site. http://info.prevx.com/safehelp.asp#xcredentialsecurity In addition, if you receive an email that looks like it's been sent by Citi International Personal Bank, but you actually think it's a phishing email, please forward it to [email protected] and then delete it from your inbox. It’s very important you don't click on any links or provide any personal details. 2. Malicious software There are many different types of malicious software; all can be used to try and steal your log in details and personal information or damage the files on your computer. They’re fairly common, and without any protection it’s very likely they will infect your computer. Here are some common types of malicious software: Virus: A virus has the ability to replicate itself and can infect a computer without the permission or knowledge of the user. A computer virus attaches itself to other computer files or programs and therefore spreads through the system quickly, often having a damaging effect. Worm: A worm is similar to a computer virus. Worms only differ from viruses in how they are spread; a virus must be executed (run) for it to infect other systems, whereas a worm actively transmits itself. In other words, a virus requires human action to spread; a worm spreads itself. Trojan horse: A Trojan horse is a malicious program which pretends to be something harmless; authors of viruses and worms often use Trojans as a way of starting virus or worm outbreaks. Spyware: Spyware is a name given to any malicious program which steals information for the benefit of its creator or controller. Most banking related malicious software falls into this category. Spyware can be contracted in a number of different ways: viruses, worms, Trojans and fake anti-virus software may all contain spyware. Online Security Software - SafeOnline Fake antivirus: Fake antivirus software is a form of Trojan horse software which claims to be genuine antivirus software but exists for the sole purpose of extracting money from unsuspecting users. Fake antivirus software may also function as spyware. SafeOnline has the ability to check for malicious software and still protects your log in details and personal information even if malicious software manages to slip through undetected. Using SafeOnline Once you’ve downloaded SafeOnline, you can just leave it running in the background and it automatically updates to help ensure you stay protected against the most recent threats. You won’t even realise it’s there – until it identifies a threat and warns you by displaying an alert message on your screen. Installation The product has been designed to be simple, fast and intuitive to set up and run. It takes just a few seconds to download and install, after which SafeOnline protects your computer against the latest online threats. You will need to have administration rights to download and install the software. Once the software has downloaded and installed successfully it will display an information page advising you of how the software works. You can then continue to browse the internet safe in the knowledge you're protected. Day-to-day use SafeOnline inserts itself seamlessly into your browser. Whenever you visit a website, a coloured ‘tab’ appears at the top of your screen which lets you know the level of protection SafeOnline is automatically providing to keep your computer safe. It also provides access to further configuration options to personalise your website security. Blue When the blue tab appears above your browser bar, it shows you have the standard SafeOnline protection for non-secure (HTTP) websites. This helps protect against malicious websites that try to install viruses, spyware, etc. It also protects against phishing websites. Green When the green tab appears above your browser bar, it shows you have enhanced SafeOnline protection for secure (HTTPS) websites, including online banking and online shopping websites. This tab indicates all information being sent to and from the website is fully protected by SafeOnline and also by an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate. The tab also means you have extra protection against malicious software whenever you enter any log in details or personal information into the website. Added password protection Once the software has been downloaded, whenever you enter your personal information into a site for the first time, SafeOnline always asks whether you’d like to associate those details with that site.

Any other reproduction or transmission requires prior written permission. Towards Next-Generation Intrusion Detection Robert Koch Institut für Technische Informatik (ITI) Universität der Bundeswehr Munich, Germany [email protected] Abstract- Today, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are integral components of larger networks. Even so, security incidents are on a day-to-day basis: Numerous data leakage scandals arouse public interest in the recent past and also other attacks like Stuxnet are discussed in the general public. On the one side, the commercial success of the Internet and the possibilities to carry out attacks from a relatively safe distance attracts criminals and made e-Crime to a multi-billion dollar market over the past years. On the other side, more and more services and systems migrate to the Internet, for example Voice over IP (VoIP) or Video on Demand (VoD). This enables new and potential attack vectors. With the steadily increasing use of encryption technology, State-of-the-Art Intrusion- as well as Extrusion Detection technologies can hardly safeguard current networks to the full extend. Furthermore, they are not able to cope with the arising challenges of the fast growing network environments. The paper gives an overview of up-to-date security systems and investigates their shortcomings.

  • 1．Computer Virus Reported (1) Summary for This Quarter
    Attachment 1 1．Computer Virus Reported (1) Summary for this Quarter The number of the cases reported for viruses*1 in the first quarter of 2013 decreased from that of the fourth quarter of 2012 (See Figure 1-1). As for the number of the viruses detected*2 in the first quarter of 2013, W32/Mydoom accounted for three-fourths of the total (See Figure 1-2). Compared to the fourth quarter of 2012, however, both W32/Mydoom and W32/Netsky showed a decreasing trend. When we looked into the cases reported for W32/Netsky, we found that in most of those cases, the virus code had been corrupted, for which the virus was unable to carry out its infection activity. So, it is unlikely that the number of cases involving this virus will increase significantly in the future As for W32/IRCbot, it has greatly decreased from the level of the fourth quarter of 2012. W32/IRCbot carries out infection activities by exploiting vulnerabilities within Windows or programs, and is often used as a foothold for carrying out "Targeted Attack". It is likely that that there has been a shift to attacks not using this virus. XM/Mailcab is a mass-mailing type virus that exploits mailer's address book and distributes copies of itself. By carelessly opening this type of email attachment, the user's computer is infected and if the number of such users increases, so will the number of the cases reported. As for the number of the malicious programs detected in the first quarter of 2013, Bancos, which steals IDs/Passwords for Internet banking, Backdoor, which sets up a back door on the target PC, and Webkit, which guides Internet users to a maliciously-crafted Website to infect with another virus, were detected in large numbers.

  • Distributed Intrusion Prevention in Active and Extensible Networks
    Distributed Instrusion Prevention in Active and Extensible Networks Todd Sproull and John Lockwood ? Applied Research Laboratory Department of Computer Science and Engineering: Washington University in Saint Louis 1 Brookings Drive, Campus Box 1045 St. Louis, MO 63130 USA http://www.arl.wustl.edu/arl/projects/fpx/reconfig.htm Abstract. The proliferation of computer viruses and Internet worms has had a major impact on the Internet Community. Cleanup and control of malicious software (malware) has become a key problem for network administrators. Effective techniques are now needed to protect networks against outbreaks of malware. Wire-speed firewalls have been widely de- ployed to limit the flow of traffic from untrusted domains. But these devices weakness resides in a limited ability to protect networks from infected machines on otherwise trusted networks. Progressive network administrators have been using an Intrusion Pre- vention System (IPS) to actively block the flow of malicious traffic. New types of active and extensible network systems that use both micro- processors and reconfigurable logic can perform wire-speed services in order to protect networks against computer virus and Internet worm propagation. This paper discusses a scalable system that makes use of automated worm detection and intrusion prevention to stop the spread of computer viruses and Internet worms using extensible hardware com- ponents distributed throughout a network. The contribution of this work is to present how to manage and configure large numbers of distributed and extensible IPSs. 1 Introduction Security has become a daunting task for network administrators. There are nu- merous vulnerabilities that affect the millions of computers attached to the In- ternet.

  • Strategies of Computer Worms
    304543_ch09.qxd 1/7/05 9:05 AM Page 313 CHAPTER 9 Strategies of Computer Worms “Worm: n., A self-replicating program able to propagate itself across network, typically having a detrimental effect.” —Concise Oxford English Dictionary, Revised Tenth Edition 313 304543_ch09.qxd 1/7/05 9:05 AM Page 314 Chapter 9—Strategies of Computer Worms 9.1 Introduction This chapter discusses the generic (or at least “typical”) structure of advanced computer worms and the common strategies that computer worms use to invade new target systems. Computer worms primarily replicate on networks, but they represent a subclass of computer viruses. Interestingly enough, even in security research communities, many people imply that computer worms are dramatically different from computer viruses. In fact, even within CARO (Computer Antivirus Researchers Organization), researchers do not share a common view about what exactly can be classified as a “worm.” We wish to share a common view, but well, at least a few of us agree that all computer worms are ultimately viruses1. Let me explain. The network-oriented infection strategy is indeed a primary difference between viruses and computer worms. Moreover, worms usually do not need to infect files but propagate as standalone programs. Additionally, several worms can take con- trol of remote systems without any help from the users, usually exploiting a vul- nerability or set of vulnerabilities. These usual characteristics of computer worms, however, do not always hold. Table 9.1 shows several well-known threats. Table

  • Address Munging: the Practice of Disguising, Or Munging, an E-Mail Address to Prevent It Being Automatically Collected and Used
    Address Munging: the practice of disguising, or munging, an e-mail address to prevent it being automatically collected and used as a target for people and organizations that send unsolicited bulk e-mail address. Adware: or advertising-supported software is any software package which automatically plays, displays, or downloads advertising material to a computer after the software is installed on it or while the application is being used. Some types of adware are also spyware and can be classified as privacy-invasive software. Adware is software designed to force pre-chosen ads to display on your system. Some adware is designed to be malicious and will pop up ads with such speed and frequency that they seem to be taking over everything, slowing down your system and tying up all of your system resources. When adware is coupled with spyware, it can be a frustrating ride, to say the least. Backdoor: in a computer system (or cryptosystem or algorithm) is a method of bypassing normal authentication, securing remote access to a computer, obtaining access to plaintext, and so on, while attempting to remain undetected. The backdoor may take the form of an installed program (e.g., Back Orifice), or could be a modification to an existing program or hardware device. A back door is a point of entry that circumvents normal security and can be used by a cracker to access a network or computer system. Usually back doors are created by system developers as shortcuts to speed access through security during the development stage and then are overlooked and never properly removed during final implementation.

  • Trojans and Malware on the Internet an Update
    Attitude Adjustment: Trojans and Malware on the Internet An Update Sarah Gordon and David Chess IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center Yorktown Heights, NY Abstract This paper continues our examination of Trojan horses on the Internet; their prevalence, technical structure and impact. It explores the type and scope of threats encountered on the Internet - throughout history until today. It examines user attitudes and considers ways in which those attitudes can actively affect your organization’s vulnerability to Trojanizations of various types. It discusses the status of hostile active content on the Internet, including threats from Java and ActiveX, and re-examines the impact of these types of threats to Internet users in the real world. Observations related to the role of the antivirus industry in solving the problem are considered. Throughout the paper, technical and policy based strategies for minimizing the risk of damage from various types of Trojan horses on the Internet are presented This paper represents an update and summary of our research from Where There's Smoke There's Mirrors: The Truth About Trojan Horses on the Internet, presented at the Eighth International Virus Bulletin Conference in Munich Germany, October 1998, and Attitude Adjustment: Trojans and Malware on the Internet, presented at the European Institute for Computer Antivirus Research in Aalborg, Denmark, March 1999. Significant portions of those works are included here in original form.

    Breaking Antivirus Software Joxean Koret, COSEINC 44CON, 2014 Breaking antivirus software Introduction Attacking antivirus engines Finding vulnerabilities Exploiting antivirus engines Antivirus vulnerabilities Conclusions Recommendations Antivirus Engines Common features of AV engines: Written in C/C++. Signatures based engine + heuristics. On-access scanners. Command line/GUI on-demand scanners. Support for compressed file archives. Support for packers. Support for miscellaneous file formats. Advanced common features: Packet filters and firewalls. Drivers to protect the product, anti-rootkits, etc... Anti-exploiting toolkits. Antivirus products or engines An antivirus engine is just the core, the kernel, of an antivirus product. Some antivirus engines are used by multiple products. For example, BitDefender is the most widely used antivirus kernel. It's used by so many products like QiHoo360, G-Data, eScan, F-Secure, etc... Most “big” antivirus companies have their own engine but not all. And some companies, like F-Secure, integrate 3rd party engines in their products. In general, during this talk I will refer to AV engines, to the kernels, except when specified the word “product”. Attack surface Fact: installing an application in your computer makes you a bit more vulnerable. You just increased your attack surface. If the application is local: your local attack surface increased. If the application is remote: your remote attack surface increased. If your application runs with the highest privileges, installs kernel drivers, a packet filter and tries to handle anything your computer may do... Your attack surface dramatically increased. Myths and reality Antivirus propaganda: “We make your computer safer with no performance penalty!” “We protect against unknown zero day attacks!”.
